Hey, thanks for the reply.

Also, good advice on having the enclosure on the side/back, and keeping the coop a few feet off property lines. I'll absolutely take those to heart.

Will also take the HOA to heart, we are hoping to find something without one, but I just realized how some places skirt around that (like Fremont hills, which i guess is its own city technically).

Best case we get something outside limits on a decent plot, and I won't have to be as concerned about this stuff, but I'm thinking internet speeds will be what prevents that (i need good internet for work).

Thanks again, have a good one!

Yes, per the Zoning Ordinance, you can keep six hens or fewer - no roosters - on a residential lot. If you live in an area with a HOA, check your covenants first (mine bans them outright gif). Be sure whatever enclosure you keep them in is located to the side of or behind your house, not in front. If you have a coop for them, keep it a few feet off of your property lines to avoid angry neighbors (and because there are setbacks required, usually three feet for something accessory like that).

Some people need to talk things out or bounce ideas around. It helps to clear their head, especially when being pulled in two different directions, like by what she knew was right and her husband’s opinion.

Once again, she’s not asking for medical advice and has the right to speak of her dilemma with people on Reddit. If you think it’s a bad idea, then that’s fine too. You’re allowed to have an opinion, I just think you should be nicer about it. Especially when someone is already obviously going through a lot.

We were at Mercy last week and it was horrendous. 15yr old and I went to ER at 9:45 and got checked in, waited about 30min and got triaged and vitals done. Sat for hours. Got to a room, no vitals done. Waited for a long time, she did get an IV and pain meds, blood work done. Waited for an ultrasound, waited for results. Decided to do a CT, by this time it’s like 2pm. Surgeon comes in at 4, we talk and decide to do surgery. There were other cases ahead of us, but between essentially 4-8ish absolutely no updates, I asked for more pain medicine before I left at 5 to rush home and get clothes for both of us. She didn’t get the medicine until almost 6. An hour after I left (grandma was there) didn’t get to the OR until 9. Room at midnight. Got discharged at 10 the next morning. Mercy also was way too relaxed when my MIL went in with a BP of 209/94, Mercy sucks.

There is a Facebook group that is great for selling and buying pc parts. Not many brick and mortar options though
